Allocation of Capital Funding to create increased provision for girls' changing at St Andrew's CE High School, Worthing

In October 2020, following a public consultation, the proposal to alter St Andrew’s CE High School for Boys, Worthing to a co-educational school from September 2021 entry was confirmed (Decision ES08(20/21) refers).

 

Following the change in 2021, the number of girls attending St Andrew’s CE High School is increasing and therefore a further increase to changing provision is required to ensure adequate provision for girls. As St Andrew’s CE High School is a Voluntary Aided School and the County Council do not own the freehold of the building, it has been agreed that the project can be delivered as a school managed project. The Governing Body has appointed consultants who are currently undertaking the design work for the proposed scheme.

 

Following detailed design and associated cost estimates the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Learning and Skills will be asked to approve the budget required and the passporting of funds to St Andrew’s CE High School to deliver the extension to girls’ changing facilities.
